This blog started as a catalog of my food obsession. Well, my food obsession hasn't shrunk but I sure have: 55 pounds off and still going strong! Now I'm trying to make the plunge into primal/paleo eating. Expect lots of photos of the food I make.

Awesome Primal Workout: Viking Trekking!

As I believe I mentioned previously, my friend the Viking Food Guy and I planned an epic "Viking Trek" for this weekend. You can read more about the details on my medieval blog.

It's of interest here because it occurred to me that the food I brought was all reasonably primal (home-made grass-fed beef jerky, grass-fed butter, dried fruits, hazelnuts, and dried vegetables), the shoes I wore were basically prehistoric barefoot shoes (a single layer of leather between you and the Earth and totally non-confining), and hiking with a load is a very "ancestral" workout!
